Advertisement Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Doc Henry Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share #7602 Posted November 4, 2015 This is from the Japanese garden here in The Hague. It is open for two weeks during the autumn and this was on the last day. Though I shot with fast film I shot wide open in the hope that it would give a sort of painterly effect.

Brenton C Posted November 4, 2015 Share #7603 Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Doc, I hoped you might have snuck out from behind camera and joined in--a sort if cameo performance in your own picture. Another time perhaps. But I respect your choice to keep a (mentally) healthy distance from a gathering of psychiatrists. A bit hard to do sometimes, for some of us who work with them daily. ;-) that was a nice picture of a friendly looking bunch. And to Adam, thank you for that clinic in two vastly different takes on a nearly identical subject. The different preferences stated and reasons given provide some insight into why and how tastes differ. My strong preference was for the rocks and fog. Some how it was that version that really came together for me, but it's interesting that other elements in the other version pull it together for others. This could make an excellent contest theme, perhaps--taking a scene and creating such vastly different takes, with different feel etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So good of you (and the others) to give me your opinion. I have one more comparison of two images to run by you from this scene that I will try to post later tonight - this time with TMaxx 400. Please check it out and provide your opinion if you have time. By the way, I'd like to publicly wish our Steve Blitz (sblitz) a happy 60th birthday today. I was delighted that he decided to take today off from work and look me up for some sunrise cityscape shooting early this morning. We met at my place at 5:15am and zipped over to Brooklyn in my French Smartcar (yes, Henry, you should be proud of me for my French car ) for some shooting of the Manhattan skyline and lovely East River views. I shot with my Linhof 6x9 and 6x6 with Ektar, Portra 160 and Tri-X, and Steve had his Q and M-A with a wide array of lenses (including his 50 DR cron, 35mm, 14mm and 90mm) and portra 160. We finished up at around 9am after a coffee and all in all had a blast. I would encourage anyone in the NYC area and willing to wake up early for some shooting to look me up! All the best, Adam 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenton C Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7607 Posted November 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tough choice for me here, Adam. Compared to the colour one I liked less well, these B&W ones both add in some foreground interest. I really like the interesting texture and patterns that the bricks bring. In the other one, however, I just love the angle you've got on the pilings. The prominent one on the left side of the "alley way" is particularly .... Satisfyingly placed in terms of its prominence and its relation to the rest of the pic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleinkamera Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7608 Posted November 5, 2015 Interesting question, I see them as different photographs and not a comparison. I like the symmetry of the first, it is an easy picture to look at, while the second my eye is taken on a tour, settling on the foreground first, before being drawn to the open sky on the left before completing the circle and returning to the foreground. As an emotional experience the second picture then is more satisfying. (For me) I am late with my comment but this explanation by Bateleur is pretty much my feeling, as well. In any case, both pictures are very pleasing! James 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleinkamera Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7609 Posted November 5, 2015 the second... This one, the second version. Less foreground clutter and the more open middle area (water) works better here, I think. Good work, Adam! James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share #7610 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Adam, for the perspective and space effect the first is better .To highlight buildings and the sea the second is the best. Both are nice. But for the second picture, I have removed the covers that are on the rocks to make more natural rocks (sorry Adam to be frank with you) Nice b&w pictures Best regards Henry Smart is produced not far from my home.

Bateleur Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7617 Posted November 5, 2015 the second... While I initially enjoyed the the array of components and their relative placement in the first picture I stumbled eventually on the foreground and settled happily on the second, although perversely wished for more of the rocks in the foreground. Perhaps a contradiction until I realized I liked the natural shapes of the rocks, as opposed the to foreground of the first picture, since they off set the man made horizon.

philipus Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7618 Posted November 5, 2015 First off belated happy birthday to Steve. Sounds like you guys had very nice morning together. I find the tones in both to be very nice, Adam but, me being in favour of simplicity these days, I prefer no. 2, also because of the slighty more vertical verticals. It's a tough choise, though, because no. 1 is also really cool as the large objects in the foreground make the massive buildings looks small. the second... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
